[Solved] Bt Sync 2.0 Preventing Sleep On Mac Os X (10.9)

Since I upgraded to BT Sync 2.0 it's preventing sleep on my two machines, a mini and a macbook pro.

This wasn't happening with the 1.4 beta version.

 

Here is the results from pmset in Terminal, with Sync opened:

 

 

pmset -g assertions

   BackgroundTask                 0

   PreventDiskIdle                0

   PreventUserIdleDisplaySleep    0

   InteractivePushServiceTask     0

   PreventSystemSleep             0

   ExternalMedia                  0

   PreventUserIdleSystemSleep     1

And without Sync running:

as you can see "PreventUserIdleSystemSleep 1" is caused by BitTorrent Sync.
 
How could I avoid this?
Is there a specific line in the advanced preferences to edit?
 
If it's not a real problem with my laptop, because I'm used to close the lid when not using it, it's a little bit more annoying with the desktop computer because I'm forced to quit the app when not using that computer or hit every time "Stop" from the Apple menu.
 
Any solution/suggestions?

Check that the following advanced preferences are set at higher intervals than the idle interval your OS is set to sleep after:

 

config_refresh_interval (seconds)

config_save_interval (seconds)

folder_rescan_interval (seconds)

 

Also ensure that Sync's debug logging is disabled.

Thanks for your response. I've tried several times to reduce the idle interval to minimum (2 minutes) in order to see quickly my machines reaction. It's the same that set that three advanced preferences to a value higher than idle interval. Is it right?

 

However it didn't work... tomorrow I'll try to monitor one of the machines using your tip, even if I think is the same then lower idle interval.

 

Could it be due to something else?

 

Another question: setting those preferences at higher interval means that rescan will happen slower then how it operates now, isn't it? I like to see fast sync, because lot of the times I switch between them and I'd like to have things synced fast as now.

Absolutely not working: I've tried to set to a higher level (1800 sec - 30 min) while my computers have to stop at 5 minutes.

It seems to be a bug.

Other suggestions? Is it possible  to avoid this situation in another way, not quitting BT Sync app?

Same issues here.

Have BTS 2.0 running on my Mac Mini which should sleep until anyone requests something (WOL). Since BTS 2.0 i see the same entries in pmset -g assertions causing the Mac to stay awake.

 

 

So it's mentioning that it's preventing sleep because of "syncing" but BTS is not syncing activly as all folders are synced. Of course I would want to leave the mac awayke while syncing but not in idle mode.

 

I believe it's a bug in BTS 2.0 which does not "reset" the value in pmset after syncing? Or whatever. Anyone knows where to report bugs officially?

Disabling debugging logging worked for me on Windows. Also, ensure you're using the latest 2.0.85 build.

I don't have debug enabled on OS X.

I've tried to enable it, quit the app, re-launch and disable then quit and re-launch it again... Always preventing sleep.

 

This is definitely a BUG....

Have you reported it or find out how to?

@all, 

 

This is already in work with developers. 

For windows, what do you get in "powercfg -requests" output in Admin's Command Prompt?

Here's what I get (running 2.0.93, Windows 7 x64 & 8.1 x64 machines idling and sleeping correctly):

@Helen

 

Thanks for your response, I hope there will be a fast resolution.

In this situation I'm simply launching the app on the two machine when I need to transfer things and quitting when done. It's not to bad to me but a step by step sync at every change could be better.

Do you think it could be fixed within next update? when is planned to be released?

Mac is still under investigation, but we cannot reproduce it for Windows. 

 

@jdrch,

Thank you, but do I get it right and Sync is not on the list? 

 

Anyone who has this problem with Windows, Sync preventing it from sleep, any details? At least "powercfg -requests" output?

I am getting increasingly irritated that there is no fix for this issue. How am I supposed to leave  BTS running if it prevents my MBP from sleeping? This is interfering on a number of different levels as so completely prevents the intended use of the app. As I have said before, I am one of those who actually paid for a license which adds to the irritation.

 

I don't see any reason why a fix for the issue along cannot be made available unless there actually is not fix?
